Age of Wonders 4 invites players to rule their own fantasy realm, blending strategy, role-playing, and turn-based combat. Powerful Wizard Kings have returned to the realms to reign as gods among mortals, and players will rise to challenge their rule using Tomes of Magic to unleash arcane destruction and evolve their armies, gaining new abilities and forms. For the first time in the series, players can create their own custom factions and leave their mark on countless worlds through each choice they make.
In Age of Wonders 4, players can create the empire of their wildest fantasies by combining bodily forms, societal traits, and arcane powers. They can build anything from a clan of cannibal halflings to mystic moon elves or recreate their favorite fantasy tropes. The game features an unprecedented level of strategy and role-playing, with every choice opening up new possibilities and tactical advantages. Tactical turn-based battles bring armies to life, from skirmishes with roaming monsters to vast sieges with numerous units on each side.
A new event system in Age of Wonders 4 offers unexpected storytelling depth for 4X games. Players’ decisions shape the world around them as they seek glory through brutal domination, cunning alliances, or ultimate arcane knowledge. Their creations may even appear as potential rivals or allies in subsequent games, providing a unique and immersive experience in each chapter of their story.
Age of Wonders 4 also allows players to make their mark on a vast, reactive world. With each session, they can explore a new realm or create their own, challenging new variations and combinations of locations and features. The game offers a tremendous variety of empires, units, and environments, making it more open-ended and mod-friendly than ever before in the series’ history, ensuring endless replayability.
